Roughly 90 Florida post-secondary institutions will receive a combined total of $768,884 in federal funding to assist students affected by Hurricane Irma.

The dollars will be distributed through the Federal Work-Study program, which provides part-time jobs to low-income students to help them fund their education.

The grants range from $97 to the American Advanced Technicians Institute in Hialeah, to $85,084 to Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, according to data provided by the Federal Student Aid office.

In Collier and Lee counties, the four listed schools will receive the following funds:

Ave Maria University: $550.

Florida Gulf Coast University: $5,479.

Florida SouthWestern State College: $6,119.

Hodges University: $2,509.

A total of $10.4 million will be distributed to more than 900 schools to assist students affected by Hurricanes Irma, Harvey and Maria, according to a Dec. 14 news release from the U.S. Department of Education.

Schools were selected to receive the money based on whether they had enrolled a large number of students from hurricane-affected areas or if the school was in Federal Emergency Management Agency major disaster areas.

The effort is “part of the Department’s ongoing efforts to provide support, flexibility and assistance to students whose lives were turned upside down by recent natural disasters,” said Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos in a statement. “It is important that they are able to resume normal activities as quickly as possible, and that these funds go to those who are most in need.”

The dollars were taken from unused Federal Work-Study funds, which are allocated to schools at the beginning of each school year. The department expects to reallocate additional relief funds next year, according to a spokeswoman for the Federal Student Aid office.

Brian Couch, vice president for advancement at Ave Maria University, said the school is grateful for DeVos’ leadership in providing relief for students affected by the hurricanes.

“We’re a small participant in that program, but anything helps,” he said.

FGCU spent about $110,000 to shelter 250 students on campus and 1,500 members of the public in Alico Arena and other campus buildings, according to university spokeswoman Susan Evans. The school estimates damage at $1.2 million.

According to John Meyer, executive vice president of academic affairs at Hodges University, the school served briefly as a shelter, and hurricane-related costs and damage were minimal.

Representatives from Florida SouthWestern State College did not respond to a request for comment.
